"Grey Oceans" e "Ocean Rave" das CocoRosie

"Grey Oceans"

In heaven worm souls flutter
They flutter by with rosaries
Dangling from their necks
German shepherds guide by nightfall
Little kinder dressed in starlight
Inside I feel like
I'm crying besides a tree
I'm watching myself like an old movie on color T.V.
When people whisper in Portuguese 
Its just as mysterious
And the stubble on his face It hurt me when
When we fell onto each other's faces
Dawn retraces heart ached patterns across grey oceans
Windows brighten up the room And one could cast a smooth worn lover's stone
Worn smooth from days of fertile deliberation

"Ocean Rave"

Black diamonds
Voodoo spell
Ocean rave
Like a whale
Swallows you whole
Headless, merciless dictator
Slays the neck of giraffes
She sleeps on pillows of zebra skin
Walking, talking
Blast a pigeon, parrot Portuguese, black icky toe Purple cloud
Dry like painted desert Flower Poison
Her tears are poison
Watch out for the snakes
Watch out for the velvet cross
And the panthers leaping from her spit

The Ballad of Casey Deiss de Shawn Phillips (1970)

T'was a man of youthful features
T'was a boy of sorrowful eyes
Watching out by looking inward
Tall and stately and full of life

In his life, he spoke but rarely
In his mind he cried for light
Painting perceptions trying to capture
That which he saw in his questioning strife

Once in Lisbon, twice in London 
Traveling around for all of his time
Looking for and finding a goddess
He took Diana to be his wife

"Butter Teeth" de the Mountain Goats (2003)

we spilled out through the front door into the blinding lade light
sun reflected on the storefront windows
tremendously bright
we were norwegians come down from the north
attacking the walls of the fortress
i was permanently at the point of exhaustion
you were gorgeous

who's here?
just us
nobody else around
stray electrical currents
trying to find the ground

we haunted the halls of the pharmacy
artlessly shoplifting random things
painkillers, cough syrup, tiger balm
bubblegum, cigarettes, and shower curtain rings
we were portuguese warships cresting the waves
cannons raised ready to dock
you were counting down the hours and minutes
i was trying to find a way of stopping the clock

who's here?
just us
nobody else around
stray electrical currents
trying to find the ground

"L is for lover" de Al Jarreau (1986)

(...)

Maybe she's looking for you in Moscow
L is for lover
Looking for you in Glasgow
O is for an offer
Maybe she's looking for you in Rio
V you got to venture
Maybe she's looking for you in Tokyo
E maybe forever
Maybe she's looking for you in Sydney
L is for lover
Maybe she's looking for you in Philly
O is for an offer
Maybe she's looking for you in Lisbon
V you got to venture
Maybe she's looking for you in Brooklyn
E maybe forever

"The Great Nations of Europe" de Randy Newman (1999)

The great nations of Europe
Had gathered on the shore
They'd conquered what was behind them
And now they wanted more
So they looked to the mighty ocean
And took to the western sea
The great nations of Europe in the sixteenth century

Hide your wives and daughters
Hide your groceries too
Great nations of Europe coming through
The Grand Canary Islands
First land to which they came
They slaughtered all the canaries
Which gave the land its name

There were natives there called Guanches
Guanches by the score
Bullets, disease, the Portuguese, and they weren't there anymore
Now they're gone, they're gone, they're really gone
You've never seen anyone so gone
They're a picture in a museum
Some lines written in a book
But you won't find a live one no matter where you look


Hide your wives and daughters
Hide your groceries too
Great nations of Europe coming through

Columbus sailed for India
Found Salvador instead
He shook hands with some Indians and soon they all were dead
They got TB and typhoid and athlete's foot
Diphtheria and the flu
Excuse me great nations coming through!

"Candy baby" de Adam and Naive (2009)

Ty-
And I heard the whispering of a "come here kitty"
 It was the whispering of a "come here kitty" that you followed
Candy baby , Candy baby
All prone to things unhealthy
Candy baby

And I put what was mine on a plane
On a plane to lisbon
On a plane to lisbon
Ingrid I long for you
To the point of I don’t know what to do
It placed an intangible weight on my shoulders
Ingrid I long for you

Candy baby
Find your way out
Of this maze

"The Part You Throw Away" de Tom Waits (2002)

You dance real slow
You wreck it down
And you walk away
Then you turn around

What did that old blonde gal say?
That is the part
You throw away

I want that beggars eyes
A winning horse
A tidy Mexican divorce

St. Mary's prayers
Houdini's hands And a barman who always
Understands

(...)

 In a Portuguese Saloon
A fly is a circling around
The room You'll soon forget the Tune that you play
For that is the part
You throw away
Ah, that is the part
You throw away

"Quickie" de Miguel

(...)

Mami I realize that I'm manish
Speak a language of love like Spanish
"Quero Fugir"
I'm so obscene and know what I mean?
Yeah sorry that was Portuguese
And I speak with ease
Please (aha) get on them knees
I gotta penny for your thoughts
If you know what I mean

"Ill Vibe" Busta Rhymes (feat. Q-Tip)

 My rhymes profess life like the birds and the bees
Make Funk-Master Flex say yo I'm feeling these
Flows make you shit in your drawrs. Change your dungarees

Smoking trees, getting cottonmouth, wild munchees
Bowed down the block eating food at Luigi's
Constipated... too much extra cheese
Well anyway, while I was cooling down at Luigi's I met some
Siamese twins from overseas..
Lebanese Let's begin with the friends from New Orleans
They had a fifth friend.
She was straight Black-Portuguese 
Pretty palm-olive-soaped skin, AloeVeralese
She looked like the type of chick you only see in fantasies
The type of chick you would KILL for to get between the knees Yo.
I made time to chill with Miss Portuguese
Would you believe, the bitch tried to steal my fucking house keys And rob me for my G's
Had to show this crazy braud, I mastered my Degree's and my Ph.D's
Got your face on camera; motherfucker say cheese
You better get with your friends quick, before I start to squeeze
Getting caught up in that freaky gold-digger Jamborees

"Sara" de Bob Dylan (1975)

I laid on a dune, I looked at the sky
When the children were babies and played on the beach
You came up behind me, I saw you go by
You were always so close and still within reach
Sara, Sara
Whatever made you want to change your mind?
Sara, Sara
So easy to look at, so hard to define
I can still see them playin’ with their pails in the sand
They run to the water their buckets to fill
I can still see the shells fallin’ out of their hands
As they follow each other back up the hill
Sara, Sara
Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life
Sara, Sara
Radiant jewel, mystical wife
Sleepin’ in the woods by a fire in the night
Drinkin’ white rum in a Portugal bar
Them playin’ leapfrog and hearin’ about Snow White
You in the marketplace in Savanna-la-Mar
Sara, Sara
It’s all so clear, I could never forget
Sara, Sara
Lovin’ you is the one thing I’ll never regret
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells
I’d taken the cure and had just gotten through
Stayin’ up for days in the Chelsea Hotel
Writin’ “Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands” for you
Sara, Sara
Wherever we travel we’re never apart
Sara, oh Sara
Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart
How did I meet you? I don’t know
A messenger sent me in a tropical storm
You were there in the winter, moonlight on the snow
And on Lily Pond Lane when the weather was warm
Sara, oh Sara
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
Sara, Sara
You must forgive me my unworthiness
Now the beach is deserted except for some kelp
And a piece of an old ship that lies on the shore
You always responded when I needed your help
You gimme a map and a key to your door
Sara, oh Sara
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Sara, oh Sara
Don’t ever leave me, don’t ever go

"Santa Maria da Feira" de Devendra Banhart (2005)

Pensando cada dia, cada hora
Pensando en ti
Caminando, mi sesta llena de moras
Son para ti
Temprano por la tarde y por la noche
Sueño de ti
Lalalala
Comiendo pera
En santa maria de la feira
Que placer ir
La gente buena
Solo gozan nunca hay pena
Pa' que sufrir
Jugando en el mar, en la arena
Viviendo haci
Lalalala
Ventana blanca
Hay que venga la mañana
Hay que venga otra vez
Esperando
Asi es como yo paso mi tiempo
Esperando a Inaniel
Y rezando por su calor, por su aliento
Sobre mi piel
Te digo todo aqui va bien
Conmigo de no dormir
Amigo, te lo suplico, te lo pido
Que me ayudes a mi, a mi
Buscando
Con mi ancla en la marea
Nadando en ti
Yo voy andando
Oyeme, te estoy llamando
Te amo a ti
Por el valle me encontré un rio escondido
Me recuerdo, hacía calor pero tenia frio
Me iba a morir
Bianca
Ay Paloma, ay Angelina
Por fin te vi
Por fin te vi
Por fin te vi

"Tenuousness" de Andrew Bird (2009)

Tenuous at best was all he had to say
When pressed about the rest of it, the world that is
From proto-Sanskrit Minoans to Porto-centric Lisboans
Greek Cypriots and and harbor-sorts who hang around in ports a lot

Here's where things start getting weird
While chinless men will scratch their beards
And to their minds a sharpened axe
Is brushed upon the Uralic syntax's

Love of hate acts as an axis
Love of hate acts as an axis
First it wanes and then it waxes
So procreate and pay your taxes

Tenuousness
Less seven comes to three
Them, you, us plus eleven thank the heavens for their elasticity
And as for those who live and die for astronomy

Know when to stand or when to sit
Can't stand to stand can't stand to sit
Now who would want to know this

Click
Click
Click

Who wants to look upon this
Who wants to look upon this
Pray tell

Who wants to look upon this
Who wants to look upon this
Pray tell
Pray tell

Tenuousness
Less seven comes to three
Them, you, us plus eleven comes just shy of infinity
And as for those who live and die from numerology

"Lissabon" de Connie Francis

Lissabon, Lissabon - Stadt der Lieder am weißen Strand
Lissabon, Lissabon - wo mein Herz eine Liebe fand

Wenn in Portugal alle Rosen blüh'n
Und die Sterne hell durch die Nächte ziehn
Kann in Portugal niemand einsam sein
Auch mein Herz blieb nicht lange allein

Lissabon, Lissabon - Stadt der Lieder am weißen Strand
Lissabon, Lissabon - wo mein Herz eine Liebe fand
Lissabon, Lissabon - denk' ich an diese Zeit zurück
Lissabon, Lissabon - denk' ich an eine Zeit im Glück

Und er küßte mich, wo die Boote steh'n
Und wir wollten nie auseinandergeh'n
Als der Abschied kam war mein Herz so schwer
Und ich schaute zurück übers Meer

Lissabon, Lissabon - Stadt der Lieder am weißen Strand
Lissabon, Lissabon - wo mein Herz eine Liebe fand
Lissabon, Lissabon - denk' ich an diese Zeit zurück
Lissabon, Lissabon - denk' ich an eine Zeit im Glück

Tradução livre (extracto)

Lisboa, Lisboa - Cidade das canções sobre a areia branca
Lisboa, Lisboa - onde o meu coração encontrou o amor

Quando as rosas florescem em Portugal
E as estrelas brilham de noite
Poderá alguém estar só em Portugal
Mas o seu coração não estará sozinho por muito tempo

"Portuguese Love" de Teena Marie (1981)

On a starry winter night in Portugal
Where the ocean kissed the southern shore
Here a dream I never thought would come to pass
Came and went like time spent through an hour glass
And you made love to me like fire and rain
Ooo you know you've got to be a hurricaine
Killing me with kisses, oh so subtly
You make love forever baby
You make love forever
I ain't gonna let you go that easy
You've got to say you love me too
I ain't gonna let you go that easy
I'm gonna give it all to you
Portuguese love
Won't you say it to me, say it to me,
say you love me baby

Harbor nights, we made love 'till the morning star
Then you crooned a song to me on your guitar
Was it so familiar calling soft my name -- Teena
Sunlight dancing slowly through love's window pane

And you made love to me like sugar and spice
Hush, my drunken heart -- this must be paradise
Killing me with kisses oh so tenderly
You make love forever baby
You make love forever

I ain't gonna let you go that easy
You've got to say you love me too
I ain't gonna let you go that easy
I'm gonna give it all to you
Portuguese love
Won't you say it to me, say it to me,
say you love me baby

Amore Portuguese -- Say you love me baby
Amore Portuguese -- Say you love me baby
Yo quiero a la ser amor -- A feeling to hard to ignore
Say amore Portuguese, you've got to say you love me

You knew that you felt good to me
From the first kiss to the last I'm trembling
"Cause you made love to me like no other man
And if you please I'd like to go back there again
Killing me with kisses oh so tenderly
You make love like . . .
You make love forever

I ain't gonna let you go that easy
You've got to say you love me too
I ain't gonna let you go that easy
I'm gonna give it all to you
Portuguese love
Won't you say it to me, say it to me,
say you love me baby

Portuguese amore -- amore Portuguese
Aye -- Say you love me

Mucho cortodo carino y besos
Maybe that will express what I've been going through ...

"A Villa in Portugal" de The Pursuit of Happiness

Never sought perfection, I loved her for her flaws
Someday you've got to do something nice for someone
and not wait for the applause
I started pluralizing my sentences I guess I skipped a verse
The moment I relied on her everything got worse
Oh no I could not say
She could mean to be so cruel
But the proof is on this postcard>
From a villa in Portugal
>From a villa in Portugal
She had the face of an angel mixed up with gypsy's hands
Her emotions blow to pieces, man she doesn't care where they land
She was going to a movie, a friend was gonna pick her up
She didn't say she was going all the way to the Iberian Peninsula

I never sought perfection, I loved her for her flaws
So I'm left her to wonder how the spell I was under
Is effect without the cause
It doesn't take a doctor with tools made to dissect
To smell in the air that hangs around here
Faith dying of neglect
